I share your love for this phenomenal bike ....gotta agree it's awesome I've done 6200km since new on my 2012... Not a single problem. I traded it last week for a new blue 2019 DCT......better in every way than an already great bike. Gotta love Honda....as reliable as the sunrise..

Great look at this bike. To me it looks like a very stylish sport tourer/ adventure bike. I appreciate all the real world details, thanks.

Thanks for this review! I learned a lot and feel like this is what I'm going to get. So many great features!!

I have a 2012 NC700X Honda for sale. Runs like new, recent service, new tires/chain/battery. Has a windscreen. 18,000 miles. 65-70mpg. Listed for $3500. Obo.

I got a 2015 NC700x and I have put over 2600 miles and I love it.

Yea they are fun for sure

Thanks for the upload. I have an S model and am really enjoying it. If it might suggest joining one of the online owners clubs - you will get a lot of help & experience there. For instance, I change the oil every 12 months (seems to be working out to about 7,000 miles) and use either 5/30 or 0/40 full synthetic - the really expensive stuff. Oil is still quite clean. Honda say check valve clearances at 12,000 miles but on the newer 750 they upped it to 24,000. So lots of us are following suit. I & many others also find Michelin Pilot Road 4 tyres to be brilliant. Thanks again!

Thanks boss! Stay classy and ride safe! 🚀

Still got mine, Leo Vince exhaust, Puig Pro sliders and Puig rear tire hugger, center stand, Sargent seat. It’s the most practical ride right now. My SUV gets like 17 to 22 mpg.

That exhaust sounds glorious! Good choice!

Nice,can't wait to test one

Great video. Love my NC.

Nice review. Thanks.

good review , Thanks

Great review, thanks. I've tried to learn as much as much as much as I can about the to 700X as it's uniqueness intrigues me. I love the tank trunk. No one has addressed highway speeds. I ride long distances and back and dirt roads, I'll never do off-road trails, etc. You mentioned pretty phenomenal mileage, what would you get at highways speeds of 75-80 mph? Will this bike hold 80 for extended periods (all day)? Thanks!

Hey, I just wanted to give you my experience - I have ridden this bike as my daily commutor up and down the NJ Turnpike almost daily for the last 2 years, and it definitely has no problem holding 80 mph. For me, it's comfy up to about 90 before it starts to bog down a bit. As for efficiency i haven't exactly calculated it, but I seem to be getting somewhere in the range of 60 mpg. LOVE the tank trunk! Become so spoiled with it!

I don't think highway speeds are any problem at all. I have to get off every couple of hours to exercise my stiff ass, the seat could be a little more comfortable. Otherwise everything is good.

Pure beauty... Did you notice any difference in power after installing the exhaust?

Its stock to Honda. They make it came with the bike

Did you notice that the center stand stopper may not engage, resulting in contact with the frame and lower suspension? It’s a moving part so will rub and wear against the stand. Stock exhaust has a welded on pad for the rubber stopper on the stand. You can put some rubber hose around the cross bar on the center stand to protect and damp it.

how well does it pick up speed? I know the redline is low but does it get up quick enough? I don't really drive fast on my bike but Mr curious about the pickup

Not much wind protection with the stock shield. A little better than a naked bike. Expect a beating at 70 mph +. But I'm coming off a touring bike that had much better wind protection. The stock NC is more suited to short haul and commuting in my opinion. But with the right windscreen, it wouldn't be bad.

You should get a car first. I know it seems like riding with someone else that you are learning how to handle a vehicle in traffic and get around legally, and you are, but it's quite different when you're actually behind the wheel. Learn these things in a car so you can devote all your attention to learning to be a good driver, which is not about how well you handle the car but rather your observations and decisions, THEN once you have some time doing that, think about a motorcycle. It is not at all cheap, the insurance alone will be quite a bit, the total higher than a car would cost and you should get durable riding gear. The only thing you'd save on is gas and that savings will be swamped by the thousands of costs you don't realize until you're paying for them. When you get older and establish a good driving record it gets cheaper for insurance.

Found this for $3900----2013 Honda NC700X Garage kept, new tires, driving lights and grip heaters are isolated with a fuse block triggered off the ignition so no accidental dead battery. Crash bars, V Stream windshield, aftermarket exhaust, bark busters. Factory side panners, Honda upper trunk. ---Whaddya think?

I was thinking the same thing. My 2013 suzuki Vstrom has a 5.2 gal tank. I have well over 200 miles of range. Usually 48mpg at 70+mph. I've read that these easily get around 60mpg so I don't think a small tank is something to worry too much about
